Wonky Honkey: for Sarah

Last week I finally made it over the the War Room to get my portrait taken by the one JW Lawson. The building that Lawson is in, right down the street from me, is this amazing old school building that I had never been in before. I've always coveted it. It also used to have some of my favorite murals in the city adorning the sides, now residing in mural heaven. I never got a proper photo of the one side that I loved the most. Before Bob moved away last year I discovered he had a Polaroid of it, which is now in my possession.

I've had a copy of Gorden Henderson's calendar in my home for over 5 years. I love his creepy style and added notes on insignificant days. This year he donated some calendars to the Handmade Nation Etsy site. Pick one up there or here.I started a new list (to your right) of artists who's work I own. Like most things in list format, it's very satistifying. This is just off the top of my head while downstairs at work, haven't even looked around while sitting in my studio (where the flat files are) or upstairs at home.

And, nothing like a bar Polaroid of you and your Milwaukee's best. Sarah had a very specific vision for this photo, we took it 4 times.

I now have a "real" website, please go check it out. Over the years I've used this blog for various purposes, it has provided me a home base using my photographs acting as the core method of communication. As a way to keep track of projects, events and places I am visiting. Now I'm not on the go as much so I post less frequently, but I will continue to make quarterly updates to keep people in the loop with upcoming programing I am involved in. Thanks for stopping by. Warmly,Faythe Levine
